Jess Parker Band 'Wholesome Prison Blues' Single Launch
โWholesome Prison Bluesโ. ๐
Our next single is a song I wrote after falling into a fever dream on my work break at the Old Castlemaine Gaol.
A story about a woman who played piano at all the honky tonks, and kept a gun in her boot while she played to fend off the drunks.
She ends up accidentally shooting a man who tried to steal her boots off her while she was playing, and gets 20 years in the can.
This is her letter to the outside world, a plea, to let her get back to playinโ ragtime on dusty pianos in honky tonks. ๐
Come and celebrate her honky tonk freedom with us on September 22 at the always wholesome @thegembarau, with the full band, and fellow bandits @sin_city_band. ๐
Incredible artwork by @houndmachine.studio ๐๐๐
See you there!
